EP56 Strong opinions about clutter that will help you!! Jul 05, 2019

Show notes

Today I share with you what those are and what the foundation of the Motherhood Simplified movement is based on.

Often times moms come into the Motherhood Simplified community with the same root issues but seeking the same bandaid solutions. I often find myself giving advice that I can FEEL through the internet that is frustrating to the moms I get to know becuase.... it's not the easy answer.

It's not the answer we're sold by Target and the Container Store and Home Goods. But these answers - which are my opinions - about clutter in the home and the impact it has on us are strong.

So strong that I will shout them from the rooftops to any mom who will listen because I know they will be infinitely more helpful to you than any fluffy, unopinionated, easy answer I can give you.

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT
... the strong, and sometimes unpopular opinions I have about clutter and how they will HELP you more than any weak, unopinionated bandaid solution

Show notes

This community is called Motherhood Simplified - so obviously we are in the seasons of having babies. One question I get often is "should I declutter before my maternity leave or during". I wholheartedly believe that BEFORE is the answer, and for so many reasons. In this episode I tell the story of my different postpartum experiences I have had. The good, the bad, the ugly and what I wish I would have known about decluttering BEFORE actually having the baby. Because for me, every time, the hard work comes after you have the baby. Especially if you already have other kids.
